Abstract
The Indian higher education system is the third largest education system in the world, however, no Indian universities have been found in the list of top 100 universities in the world. The Government of India has taken several initiatives to improve the quality of education in India and its ranking position so that Indian universities improve their quality and provide the best quality education and research. NIRF is one such initiative. As per NIRF, all the HEIs are evaluated on the basis of certain stipulated performance of parameters score, such as ’Quantitative Research (QNR)’, ’Qualitative Research (QLR)’, ’Students and Faculty Contribution (SFC)’, ’Outreach and Inclusivity (OI)’, ’Peer Perception (PR)’. Accordingly, HEIs are to publicize their academic and research performance to their prospective students and employers. This study aims to trace out the impact of the top six HEIs from WB among the top 50 ranked HEIs results established in the year 2021 under the research category on the performance of parameters and sub-parameters and evaluate the score of research publications, citation, h-index, and another sub-parameter score of the respective HEIs. There are a few HEIs who secured relatively much less ratings below the overall performance of parameters and sub-parameters however secured pretty preferred rank and vice-versa. Furthermore, this study suggests stimulating appropriate strategies that would help the Indian HEIs to enhance their teaching and learning process, education quality and research, and so that their performance and ranking are improved.
